About this event
"Someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow, until then we'll have to muddle through somehow..."
THIS DECEMBER spend your holidays in Paradise with eight Christmas (or Christmas adjacent) films that celebrate the highs and lows of the season. The Paradise Presents: THE GOLDEN DAYS OF YORE.
For our final film of 2022- we'll celebrate the 30th anniversary of Terence Davies' austere masterpiece. Though it only contains glimpses of Yuletide festivities, this vivid cinememoir is an aching portrait of childhood woes and wonder. The Paradise Presents: THE LONG DAY CLOSES.
THE LONG DAY CLOSES is the most gloriously cinematic expression of the unique sensibility of Terence Davies, widely celebrated as Britain’s greatest living filmmaker. Suffused with both enchantment and melancholy, this autobiographical film takes on the perspective of a quiet, lonely boy growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s. But rather than employ a straightforward narrative, Davies jumps in and out of time, swoops into fantasies and fears, summons memories and dreams. A singular filmic tapestry, THE LONG DAY CLOSES is an evocative, movie- and music-besotted portrait of the artist as a young man.
